How to reserve an in-person ticket as a passholder?
Before you can secure your ticket, each passholder must undergo these steps:
Set up an Elevent account — If you’ve purchased a pass, your email will already be in our system. If you’ve never logged on to Elevent before, you might be prompted to create a password for your account. Don’t lose it. You’ll need it to reserve your ticket.
Set up your credentials — We’ll need a name for each of your pass/passes. You can assign names to passes by clicking a link in your confirmation email or going to your account page on goelevent.com.
After you are set up with an account, you’re almost ready to secure your seats. To proceed, make sure you are logged into your Elevent account.
Select a film you would like to see — You can find a full listing on tallgrassfilm.org, the Tallgrass app or at https://www.goelevent.com/Tallgrass/e/Search
Select “Tallpass Ticket Reservation” — Add this ticket to your cart and proceed through checkout. A confirmation email with the ticket will be sent to you shortly afterward. You will need this ticket to get into each film or party.

How do I use my Virtual Access Pass?
The Virtual All Access Pass gives you access to watch all the Tallgrass Film Festival films and Q&As online on your computer, laptop, or smartphone or TV (see FAQ). After you have purchased or received the pass online, you will receive both an Order Confirmation email (with your payment receipt) and an email from “Elevent Support”. (Please check your SPAM folder, if you can’t locate it). The email from “Elevent Support” will contain a link to JOIN the CineSend watch portal. Here you will need to enter your email address and a password in the Pass Holder login fields.
If you can’t find the email with the JOIN link, you can also go directly to the watch portal at: https://watch.tallgrassfilm.org/. You will need to enter the same email address that you use for your Elevent account.
Once logged in to Tallgrass Film Festival CineSend watch portal, you will be able to browse the film lineup or at the festival https://tallgrassfilm.org/. Films will be available for viewing from Oct 16 – 25. You can click on PLAY or choose to WATCH LATER.
Once you start watching a film you have 72 hours to finish it. We have suggested watch times that coincide with Q&As with filmmakers and other guests.
If you run into technical troubles, please email us at: boxoffice@tallgrassfilm.org
How do Virtual Tickets work?
Virtual tickets work much like Video on Demand. First, you will need to browse our website to choose the film you’d like to watch and BUY A TICKET.
You will then receive an Order Confirmation email (with your payment receipt) from Elevent. If you purchase your ticket before the festival starts, you will receive a second email with a link to VIEW the film and a VOUCHER CODE one hour before the film begins. (If you purchase your ticket once the festival has begun, this email will be sent right away). This link will take you to Tallgrass Film CineSend watch portal. You will need to enter the voucher code here. The film description will appear and just click on PLAY when you are ready to start watching it.
Once you click PLAY, you will have 72 hours to finish watching.
Note: You will also have direct access to your Virtual Events from your Elevent Order History page. If you have trouble finding the email with the voucher code, login to your Elevent account and go to your ORDER HISTORY. You will be able to click on a VIEW link there.
If you run into technical troubles or your voucher code doesn’t work, please email us at: doanna@tallgrassfilm.org
How do Redeem a Discount Voucher?
If you received a discount code from a Sponsor you will need to go to our website and choose the film you’d like to watch and then go to your shopping cart. There you will see an “Apply Discounts & Extras” button at the top. Press it and select the discount you want to apply. The prices of the film will be discounted—and you merely need to check out from here. You will see the discount take effect immediately in the Custom Discount display and the shopping cart. Checkout here and you’re done.
